(A) Any person who receives a citation for a parking violation shall respond to such citation as provided herein within seven days of the date of notice, by either paying the fine set forth in the notice or requesting a hearing as hereinafter provided.
(B) If the owner of a vehicle cited for a parking violation has not responded to the notice within seven days as provided in subsection (A) above, the county shall send a second notice by certified mail to the last known address of the registered owner of the vehicle as listed on the certificate of the title. The notice shall state that if the owner of the vehicle does not respond to the notice by either paying the fine or by requesting in writing a hearing within seven days of the receipt of the notice, the owner shall be deemed to have waived his right to a hearing and the determination that a violation was committed shall be considered final. Any person who fails to request a hearing or pay the fine within seven days shall be deemed to have refused to pay the fine levied by the citation.
(C) The registered owner of a vehicle at the time the violation occurred shall be liable for all fines, fees, and penalties levied.
